Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro 1:1 VC USD Review
Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro 1:1 VC USD Verdict
Another new Tamron lens, this one building on the reputation of its predecessors and definitely coming up to the mark. The Tamron 90mm Macro has been a favourite for many over the years. This one takes performance to a new peak and is very comfortable to use. There does remain the possibility of picking up the previous model at a much lower price but that is always a dilemma when lenses are updated.
This is a lens that has been a pleasure to use, from the crisp view through the viewfinder to the satisfaction of the quality of images opened on the monitor screen. Tamron has continued the legacy reputation of their 90mm Macro in an accomplished way.
